    Visitors to the Chudow castle have the opportunity to see not only finds dug out of the ground by archaeologists, but also builders. In the outer ward there is a huge erratic boulder, weighing over 18 tons, excavated during the construction of the A-4 motorway near Taciszów.

    Specialists said that it was transported by the Pleistocene ice sheet during the so-called of the South Polish glaciation, probably from the area of today's Sweden. The stone is probably granodiorite. Occurring in much smaller sizes, it is treated as a decorative stone. The boulder was donated to the Chudów Castle Foundation by the Rudziniec Forest Inspectorate.

      As you can see, the boulder is huge compared to the bike.
